Recently I brought Imperial Commando: 501st and I loved the story. Here's some background info.
Anyways, the Commandos are the Republic's spec ops soldiers, trained by Mandalorians, and unlike regular clones, given more independence so they can complete operations any way they want. They wear their own shielded battle armor, and carry their own weaponry into war.
I'm not sure what a prospective starting point would be - either the Battle of Geonosis (first deployment of the Commandoes - 10,000 went in, 5000 came back), or after Order 66, playing another group of commandoes hiding out on Mandalore in a remote location (the first group is already there, and have been there since the events of Order 66).
If it gets confusing, I'll just say they're spec ops. I can't get a timeline, and I'll expand it later. Let's just say it'll be weirder than most Star Wars RPs - you're playing independent commandoes.

How about we have a thread that starts off on Geonosis, on the deployment, have the next thread be in a mid-war battle, and the main one be during Order 66? So then we can, once finished with the Order 66, can have them do the skiddaddle and hide out on Mandalore... BTW, if we do use Order 66, I call one of the Jedi. =P

Dark Jedi? One of Palpatine's acolytes/agents?

Ares: Sounds like a plan. But could we have another thread before Geonosis, which details the training of the commandoes?
And which mid-war battle would we be in?

I suppose and I guess he can be a Dark Jedi agent working for Palpatine...if Spartana is cool with it this is his story after all. I am fine with just a Clone Commando.

Sure! It's your plotline, so do whatever! =P
BTW, I actually don't want any Jedi... but I do call the clone sniper. =D
And lemme think... Saleucami? Maybe the assault on Coruscant? Or we could make up a planet. xD

Yeah, I think all the people who are going to be Clones need to pick a class, then pick weapons accordingly. Maybe sniper, medic, demolitions, pilot (me), CQB, etc. I think I'll go with a Proton Carbine.

Danny: Ever hear of the Republic Commando game/book series?
Okay, here's the roles that are here so far.
Me: Leader (I'm not egotistical, it's just that I want to challenge myself by being leader for once) Ares: Sniper The Grunt Pope: Heavy Weapons Specialist Spartan-777: Pilot
That means we have one squad filled out... we could always have a friend of the commandoes. Danny, you could be their trainer, one of the Mandalorian mercenaries that trained them. Think Boba Fett, only a bit kinder, like a father.

Actually, I dropped the Jedi. I wanted to invest more time in one character. =D And who says it has to be a team of four? We could be less-than-standard, after all... I say a team of five would be fine, but it's up to you.

Well, according to canon, all of the commandoes were placed in "pods" of four each.
I suppose that another player's Commando could join us after Geonosis.
777: The "Proton Carbine" looks more like a G36 to me.

Yeah, I noticed. But I found it on Wookieepedia, so hey, it's canon.
